"He's going to end up being a great cover guy for us, a great safety, great roamer, and very physical football player. Alfred is a big, tall, lean safety, who is very physical. In the Cypress ISD area, those coaches all just think he's `the guy' because he's earned that reputation around that whole district, and the two or three district areas around which include about 30 schools. He's a great leader and a tough physical player."
